In the beginning, government created the societies on earth. Now the societies were formless, void, and empty. Darkness reined over the unconnected landscape, the spirit of government hovered over the barren fields of land.

And thy Government said "Let there be roads!", and there were roads.

THE STATE'S PRAYER

"Our Leader, who art in government,

hallowed be thy roads.

Thy property rights none,

Thy taxes done, on time and in sealed envelope.

Give us this day our daily bread ration,

And forgive us our voluntary trades,

And lead us not into free markets,

but deliver us from Somalia,

For thine is the interstate, the drones, the schools,

and the functioning toasters, forever and ever.

Sweden."

Welcome to /r/ShitStatistsSay! A community where we can share, comment on, critique, and either cringe or laugh at the insane and ignorant things communicated by our authoritarian/statist peers.

You are free to post displays of statist idiocy from anywhere, you are not limited to the abundance of material found here on reddit.

Try not to resort to insults and ad-hominems. Just use good arguments and logic.

Like a post? Upvote!

Dislike a post? Leave it be

Do NOT directly ask for posts to be upvoted or downvoted.

Do NOT directly ask for back up

See a post that could lead to a potential statist witch hunt? Downvote!

Angry that this place exists? Leave!... or move to Somalia.

Use titles that are descriptive. Do not simply use a post title of "This Whole Thread." Explain what the thread is about.

Our only hard rule is that you cannot post or comment with private identifying information. This will result in removal of post or comment. Continued use of private information will result in a ban and possible reporting to admins.

Our policy on banning users has changed! Now at the discretion of the mods we will put problem individuals up for a vote by the community to be banned or otherwise reprimanded. Types of things that might get you put up for such a vote: Obnoxious Trolling, illegal activities. Basically don't be a douche. You will likely receive a warning first, unless the issue is especially egregious.

ProTips:

If you're linking to a reddit comment and it requires some context, just add "?context=x" to the end of the URL, where "x" is the number of previous comments you want displayed.

HERE is a list of common fallacies hurled at libertarians by tyrannical statists. Logic is not their strongpoint so call them out.
